Sony Bank plans to introduce a U.S.‑dollar‑pegged #stablecoin in fiscal 2026 that will let American customers pay for #Playstation #game , subscriptions, anime and other #Sony services. By using the token, Sony hopes to slash the fees it pays to credit‑card networks and give users a faster, cheaper payment option. The coin will be built on Bastion’s blockchain and still needs regulatory clearance. This move is part of Sony’s broader Web3 strategy: its newly created subsidiary BlockBloom is working to blend fans, artists, NFTs and digital currencies into a single ecosystem. Sony has already filed for a U.S. banking licence and partnered with Bastion to handle issuance and compliance.
